Antique Battery Tester Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2023
- This time I'm restoring an antique battery tester, used to measure the current in early car battery .
Why no final test ?
The early car batteries was 6V and made of 3x 2V cells ( you ca see it in the video a 0.20min)
The device is designed to measure current in each cell.
The wire beteween the two leads act as a resistor to simulate a load in the cell tho ensure that the cell will deliver 2V at the required amperage.
But if you connect the tester to a DC power supply, the wire will create a short circuit.
As the original batteries are no longer produced since decades, I can't do a proper test of the device.
Hope you still enjoyed the video and thanks fort watching. - Розваги
It is always a good idea to add tests and demonstrations of the restored product at the end of the video, this will help you to get more loyal viewer
Thank you for your comment. I usually try to ad a short sequence a the end of the video but this time it was not possible. I've updated the video description to explain why. I'll keep your comment in mind for future videos :)
Was hoping to see a demonstration, but a fine restoration anyway. cheers for sharing this video with us .
I've updated the video description to explain the lack of the final test. Thank you for watching my video.
Последний раз пользовался таким прибором лет 40 тому назад. Спасибо за красивую работу.
Estupendo trabajo y otra pieza más de museo recuperada. Magnífico vídeo. felicidades.
I remember our local garage using one of these in the mid 50s.
I started watching your videos and I'm very impressed, great marksmanship of putting old antiques back together
mis mejores 21.01 minutos, no fue perdida de tiempo ver el video gracias por el mismo amigo. Dios te bendiga tu saber.
i know the batteries that were designed for this device to test it aren´t produced anymore but i´m sure you can still test with 6v gel battery from emergency ligths that are closest to it
even if you havent added a test, your restoration quality is one of the finest i see here so every minute worth it
That's really good after renovation 👍👍
Looking forward to restore the items at the end of this video 😁
probably the first battery cell load tester.
like new again, great 😀
I was using one in the 1960`s on tar top batteries. Most batteries were 6 volt, or 8 volt, you tested the cells not the whole battery by pushing probes through the tar or across the the individual cells at connector straps, reason for tar was to prevent corrosion. Yes you are load testing but it's only 2 volts, how long it stayed at 2 volts on the gauge was to show how strong a cell was, if it drops off quick or has nothing it's a bad cell. Not something you can do on a modern battery.
Thank you for your input, very informative !
Perfect 👌
Does the spring not sort the batteries?
I don't see any isolation between the test leads and the spring.
Sadly no demonstration in the video
This is not a spring, it is a length of resistance wire that puts a load on the battery whilst testing.
Thank you for your comment. Roger is right. I've updated the video description to explain the lack of test.
Przepiękne jest to odrestaurowane to bardzo dziwne użądzonko pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍
Dziękujemy za miły komentarz ! :)
I enjoyed watching this video and after reading your explanation in the background notes, I totally understand your point. However, might you try a 1.5 Volt battery for your test. From what I can see of the dial, it looks like it would indicate a low battery reading. Just a thought to kick around. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your channel. 😊
Nice
wow
👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍🥃🥃🥃
👍💯
Why you did.nt test?
Самое интересное не показал.
Как работает то этот прибор покажи...
Так сейчас нет таких батарей. Эта нагрузочная вилка нужна для тестирования аккумуляторов в стартером режиме.
